About 25% of people in your world have a power that they develop as a child, at around 10 or 11 years old. Maybe it’s super strength, maybe it’s extreme intellect, maybe even magic. Who knows what it could be? But there’s a catch, everyone has a source of their power (electricity, light, heat, ect), it isn’t something they just have and can use whenever they would like.

The rarest type of source is music, and people with this source are known as Canetis, those who are granted their power when they play certain songs and rhythms on a wind (not a recorder, slide whistle, nose flute ect) or string instrument (to be specific, ones which you may find in a high school orchestra, such as violins and string basses). You are a Canetis, and because of this, you go to a school where you learn to use your powers. If you have read to here, put “I” in other.

This school is simply called “The School of Music,” and there are three ‘factions’ which students are sorted into; Pulchritudo Pars, Tenebris Pars, and Claritas Pars. The factions students are sorted into each represent the type of music which gives them their abilities, Pulchritudo Pars being beautiful and emotional melodies, Tenebris Pars being songs which are powerful and intense, and Claritas Pars being joyful and bright pieces.

The School of Music is located in an island known as Nix in the North Atlantic Ocean, and is almost like a mountain paradise. In the winter, the island will be covered with snow and ice, the temperatures below freezing. Many students find the weather a nuisance, as the lower temperatures make their instruments below pitch. In the spring and summer, the island is around sixty degrees and sunny.

At this school, along with learning how to use your powers, you and your peers will also learn about music, improve your skills, be educated like any other school, and most importantly, be taught the threats of the outside world. If you have read to here, put “am” in other.

Although you and many others have special powers to protect yourselves, your world is also full of danger. There are monsters (from mythologies, not ones that I’ll randomly create), and of course those who use their powers for evil.

You and the friends you meet at this school have to worry about staying alive, along with learning how to control your powers and playing your instrument.

The island of Nix is full of dangers, from stray Canetis and others with powers, to monsters which roam the area. You cannot let your guard down, no matter how safe or happy it seems. If you have read this far, put “a” in other.

Rules and Requirements-

-Be respectful to others.

-Do not manipulate other people’s characters without permission.

-LGBTQ+ is perfectly fine, I want diversity in this.

-As minor as this sounds, please use “ ” to show when someone is speaking in a POV and decent grammar. POVs can become hard to read without it.

-Characters aren’t warriors or fighters, and have little to no fighting experience.

-No weapons in school, it’s not a warzone.

-Be prepared to be bombarded with musical terms and expressions.

-This is not an action RP, so please don’t expect a lot of fighting, even though there are monsters and bad guys.

-You can have as many characters as you want.

-If these rules are broken, I'll politely give a warning. However, if it is constant even after warnings, I have every right to ban you from it.

-Be creative and have fun!

-If you have read this far, put “Canetis” in other. By now, you should have “I am a Canetis.” If you don’t, reread the directions and plot.

If your character is going to have a power which changes themselves, such as super speed, super strength, flight, or increased stamina, the “source,” or song which they play will only last for a certain duration. For example, they can only fly for 10 minutes before playing whichever song gives them their abilities again.

Other powers which will control the environment around them, such as water or fire manipulation, will last for the duration of the song that they play, meaning that these powers can only work while the person is playing their instrument.

I’ll post the forum soon. If you have any questions (I know that I glossed over some things), feel free to ask!

Appearance- She has grey blue eyes and light blond hair. Her hair is long and she straightens it every morning, sometimes she ties it back in the summer. Her skin is slightly tanned from being outside often. She has a small scar above her left eye from the time her and her BFF snuck out to play Pokemon Go at a public park at night, got scared by security, and ran off. She tripped and quite a few potty words came out in the process. She wears normally exercise/workout clothes. Running shorts and a t-shirt. Sometimes she wears slightly tattered jeans or jean shorts. If it’s cold, she wears a grey-blue South Lake Tahoe sweatshirt, or maybe her red Santa Cruz “lifeguard” sweatshirt.

Name: Heather SilverHeart

NickName: Sil (Honestly what nickname i could i do for Heather, The nickname is for SIlverHeart)

I'd love to join this, but I know little to nothing about wind and string instruments (I'm a brass). If I joined, do you think you could help me with some of the specific stuff about the instrument if it came up in the RP?

@Darmidnight- Yes, only one power. And it shouldn't be a big power, keep that in mind. The power will only be present when or after playing, like I stated in the directions. Also, I would prefer it if characters didn't have fighting skills going into the school, and that also goes for archery. They are supposed to be pretty average, minus the powers, and that also means that the eyes should remain average. Also, it's something else which you need to put in other. I've hidden hints on it around the directions, so if you reread them carefully you shouldn't have any trouble finding them. Thanks!

And yes, 13 is supposed to be 8th grade, but the occasional freshman is 13 years old.

Personality-Spunky, brave, and tough, Amelia's not a girl you'd want to get on the bad side of. She's quick to fight and isn't afraid of much, is super stubborn, and never gives up on those she truly cares about. Ever. Beneath her rough exterior and dirty mouth, Amelia's a good person with a heart set the right way. She's really sarcastic and expresses herself through sports and humor. Amelia's friendly, and easily likable, making her a pretty popular person at the school. Her downfall will most likely be her temper, as if you know how to push her buttons, she can explode with anger. Amelia's really impatient and impulsive, not one to sit down and wait or think about her actions. She's an athlete, and is very competitive.

Appearance-At first glance, Amelia's appearance is similar to Loren Gray's. Her hair's very long, all the way down to her ribcages, and is a very light blonde, almost a white blonde color. It's wavy and she'll usually tie it back in a single dutch braid or possibly even leave it down, though that can be a hassle. Amelia's eyes are a beautiful stormy blue, specks of silver are visible throughout her irises. She has long, natural eyelashes, which are dark in contrast to her hair. Her eyebrows are a bit dark as well. Amelia's skin is smooth and tan, and freckles brush the bridge of her nose and the tops of her shoulders. She's short, standing at barely 5'3, though her build is similar to a swimmer's, lean and muscular. Amelia's normally seen wearing some form of a sweatshirt, usually an oversized one, and a pair of sports pants, capris, or shorts. She always wears a sports necklace and her fitbit.

Music Preferences-A bit surpisingly, Amelia prefers oldie bands, like Queen and Fleetwood Mac. She can't stand country-pop or Taylor Swift, though she'll play on an acoustic guitar when she feels like it. Her normal guitar is usually an acoustic-electric guitar.

Power (nothing OP, be creative!)-

Power Song(s)-Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and Landslide by Fleetwood Mac

*Talents and hobbies-Sports, singing, swimming, running, playing guitar, and tripping over random stuff

Background-Amelia grew up semi-normal, her parents divorced when she was 6 and moved their seperate ways. She doesn't spend much time with her mom, as her mom was the one who was cheating on her dad, and Amelia's mom normally spends holidays with her other family. Amelia doesn't mind, as she always thought her father was nicer, though he's always working and lately she hasn't had any time with him. She has three older brothers, Tyler, Jack, and Anthony, and a twin brother, Camden. When her father started working more, Amelia started feeling more emotions and doing some bad things. Her powers kicked in more and when her father found out, he sent her to the school. Amelia's happier there.

Personailty: She is tough, anger issues, HAS A SERIOUS ATTITUDE, sassy serious, and has really never cried in her life before,only teared up, but you can often find her with a smile on her face, she is loyal, brave, has courage, confident, sypamthy towards others and puts others before herself.

Music Preferences- He likes really anything, but he can't stand generic pop (Chainsmokers). He loves electronic music and tropical house, along with alternative rock, acoustic, jazz, and classical.

Power- Shadows

Power Song- Can't Help Falling in Love and Riptide.

Talents and hobbies- He is suprisingly athletic and a fast and agile person, is a good singer, and can draw.

Likes/dislikes- He loves nature and animals, art, music, most sports, but hates crowds, little kids (no patience) and is the picture of photo shy-ness

Background- very average, he was kinda normal, but he never grew up with a mother, and he wasn't suer close to his father and brother.

Preston is a very jolly soul. He’s boisterous and loud, and has enough energy to rival a kid on a sugar rush. He’s not hyperactive, though. He’s fun-loving, loves giving out bear hugs, and is larger than life. However, he can be tiring due to his seemingly boundless energy, and can be annoying because of that and the fact that he can be melodramatic at times. Preston can be serious despite that, though, and will be so at appropriate times.

Preston genuinely likes others. If he sees someone in trouble just having a bad day, he’ll drop everything and try to help them. He especially likes children because of their playfulness, innocence, and ability to keep up with him.

Preston doesn’t like people who deceive others for bad purposes or people who hide their true malicious natures through a benign facade. He doesn’t like deceiving others in general, actually. He always thinks that there’s a better solution than doing that, and is very straightforward and honest in both actions and demeanor. He’s a bad liar due to that, and is also a bad actor.

Preston’s also very optimistic.

Appearance (details, please)-Preston's a big ol' guy, both in stature and girth. He has naturally pale skin and brown hair, and has a beard. He has brown eyes and wears a green vest over a lighter green long sleeved shirt. He also wears blue jeans and light green sneakers. He's chubby, but not obese. He's usually smiling.

Music Preferences-jolly and cheerful songs when he's feeling happy(which he usually is), sad and subdued songs when he's feeling melancholy

Power (nothing OP, be creative!)-The power to influence people to feel happy. This can be ignored or fail depending on the victim's stubborness to stay down and/or grumpy, but otherwise, it's easy for this power to take effect on anyone.

Power Song(s) (a specific song, preferably classical, which gives your character the most power. It should reflect the faction and make logical sense with the power)-Happy Together from Turtles

*Talents and hobbies-making others happy, giving out bear hugs, having enough energy to rival a kid on a sugar rush(Is that a talent?)

*Likes/dislikes-

Likes:other people, children, fun, giving others bear hugs, being loud, playfulness, people who can keep up with him, innocence, being loud, his friends, helping others, cheering up others, thinking optimisticallyDislikes:people being in trouble, people having bad days, deceiving others, people who deceive others for bad purposes, people who hide their true malicious natures through a benign facade, lying

Background (nothing extremely traumatic or sad)-Preston's father was a conman. He got in trouble for this eventually and landed in jail, and the family struggled without him. They eventually got better, but Preston at that point had already promised himself that he would live an honest living. He, from then on, tries to avoid deceiving people at all costs.

Grade (9-12)- 11 (This sounds wrong, but I'll be sixteen as a junior so its possible)

Instrument_ Flute

Faction- Tenebris Pars

Personality- Cocky, Flirtatious and seemingly full of himself, Micah is an easy person to find. He draws a lot of attention to himself, sometimes on purpose, sometimes not. Micah very confident is his ability with his flute, but that’s about it. Secretly, he doubts himself constantly, and second guesses most of his decisions. He craves attention, and hates to be alone, but has a hard time letting people really get to know him. He’s extremely intelligent and a good strategist, but feels like no one would take his ideas seriously, which causes him to keep thoughts like these to himself. Otherwise, Micah has no filter, letting people know exactly what he thinks of them, whether it be good or bad. He’s a hopeless romantic, and even though he has a habit of flirting with anything that breathes, if he believes he’s found ‘the one’ he’ll drop his flirting with everyone else and focus on them. He’s a wee bit arrogant, which can get him into fights. He’s extremely loyal, and would die for anyone he cares for. He’s very open about his emotions: if he hates you? You’ll know. If he cares about you? You’ll know. Very brave, but his bravery often comes off as reckless. He doesn't seem to have a sense of his own safety. He can be very aggravating when he gets frustrated. He's usually pretty calm, though.

Appearance-

Micah has straight, midnight black hair, which is long enough to fit into a small ponytail, which is how he usually keeps it. His eyes are a bright emerald shade, and there are a few brown flecks around his irises. Micah’s skin is a dark caramel color, and he has some faint freckles dotting his cheeks. His figure is tall and lanky, a bit like a stick. His lips are usually chapped due to playing his instrument so much. A mischievous glint usually gleams in his eyes, and a smirk plays on his lips.

Micah’s clothing is usually very casual. His favorite outfit consists of a black leather jacket, a white and pale blue striped shirt, ripped-at-the-knees light washed jeans, black converse with silver laces, and a pale blue beanie. He usually is wearing a beanie, and he has a collection of beanies. He likes to be warm, so he wears a lot of jackets. His left ear is pierced,and he has a gold hoop earring in it.

Music Preferences- He likes to find the instrumentals for his favorite songs or songs with a quick tempo change

Power - Depending on the tempo of the song, Micah can slow down or speed. For fast-paced songs, time will speed up/ for slow-paced songs, time will slow for the duration of the song

Power Song(s) To speed up, he likes Olympia by Samuel Hazo, and to slow down he likes the instrumental of sky full of stars by Coldplay

*Talents and hobbies- Other than playing the play, Micah can also sing (he has a rather high voice, I'd say Tenor One/Alto two at his highest), and he can play piano. He's also a fast runner and dances.

*Likes/dislikes- i will fill this out later!

Background (nothing extremely traumatic or sad)- His parents couldn't afford to take care of him, so he ended up being apodted by a really nice couple who couldn't have kids. He's had a comfortable life, and he has met his birth parents.
